Kuszczak has lost his starting place to David Stockdale but has now recovered from the groin problem which blighted his most recent outings.

Derby are looking to bring in experienced back-up to regular No. 1 Scott Carson given they have only the untested Jonathan Mitchell as No. 2.

Blues have Stockdale, Kuszczak and rookie Connal Trueman as their goalkeeping options.

COTTERILL'S NEW CLUB

David Cotterill has joined Indian Super League side ATK following the termination of his contract at Birmingham City.

Cotterill’s contract at Blues was terminated by mutual consent last month and the winger has been linked with a host of English clubs including Sunderland, who are managed by former Wales boss Chris Coleman.

But Cotterill has opted for a new adventure in India with ATK, coached by ex-England and Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham.

The 30-year-old played eight times for Blues this season having spent the second half of last campaign on loan at Bristol City.

However, Cotterill started just two Championship matches and didn’t feature in Steve Cotterill’s plans.

Cotterill follows a whole host of players to the ISL. Former Blues man Roger Johnson enjoyed a spell with Pune City, while former Blues transfer target Robbie Keane will be a team-mate of Cotterill at ATK.

MORE BLUES NEWS

Danish striker Nicolai Brock-Madsen is undergoing a medical at Polish side Cracovia as his Birmingham City nightmare nears its conclusion.

Brock-Madsen flew out to Poland earlier this week and has agreed terms on a loan move until the end of the season, the Birmingham Mail understands.

Blues have agreed to the move with a view to it being made permanent in the summer.

The 25-year-old arrived at St Andrew’s from Danish side Randers for around £500,000 in 2015 but only made eight appearances.

The striker returned to Wast Hills in the summer following a successful spell on loan with Dutch side PEC Zwolle but previous boss Harry Redknapp had no desire to reintegrate him into his first team plans.

Brock-Madsen was instead made to train with the under-23s with his Blues career virtually over.

Blues will monitor Brock-Madsen while he’s plying his trade in the Ekstraklasa for Cracovia but it’s unlikely he will wear royal blue again.
